swmckinley Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Well after 3 months absence from the BMW brand bike (2004 RT) and two other no BMW motos I am glad to say that I am back in the BMW fold. I now own a K1200 GT, green. My dealer, Lone Star BMW, Austin, Texas threw me the keys to the GT on Saturday morning and said see you on Tuesday. I rode 500 miles just to make sure I would like it in just about every situation from stop and go traffic on the freeway to the twisties in the hill country. I had temps from 100's and sunny to the 70's and raining hard. I really like this bike. I cannot belive the liquid power delivery and the the effortless shifting. The RT ( I have had two RT's and an GS Adventure) is/was work at shifting and keeping the RPM's in the powerband, the K bike, well it is a dream to ride and where the the R bike would be lugging the K bike just powers out. I am excited about riding again, and look foward to many road trips. Link to comment
